Reaper of the Martial World

Book 7: Chapter 357: Lightly (2)

“Little scouts?” Clara looked toward Dyon in confusion. “Oh!”

It was at that moment that Clara finally remembered. Almost 9 years ago now, Dyon had Sarid, Aoife and Stella capture hundreds of thousands of rodent type beasts in exchange for pills and techniques they might want. Sure, Dyon was exploiting child labor, but one couldn’t deny that the results were fantastic.

During this past near decade, Dyon had been diligently nurturing these rodents, improving their body constitutions and potential ceilings.

Dyon’s purpose was quite lofty. He wanted to create an army of celestial hamsters capable of scouting out universes he planned to attack. If he could accomplish such a goal, the boon would be unimaginable.

One had to know that even a Higher Existence couldn’t sense the presence of Little Yang and Yin now unless they specialized in time will. And, it had to be known that Little Yang and Yin weren’t even fully mature yet. They were mere babies in the large scheme of things and had yet to unlock their battle bloodlines.

This said, it also had to be noted that the twins were royals. As such, their abilities far exceeded that of other celestial hamsters due to their prestigious bloodline. However, that didn’t mean fostering other celestial hamsters would be useless, it just meant that it would take time for them to show their full potential.

It had to be known that while only a bit less than 9 years passed in the true timeline, Dyon had been fostering these rodents for almost 100 years now. 53 years within Chaos Universe, plus 25 years within the Demon Sages Mystical World, not to mention another 5 or so years since he left that universe entirely!

The best of the bunch had slowly crept to the top in this way. Now, the best of them could even be considered Heaven Grade beasts. Still, this was a far cry from the peak supreme grade beasts Little Yang and Yin were.

At this point one might point to the Fate Breaking Pill. Why was it that Dyon hadn’t used it yet? After all, he had a vat of supreme grade celestial hamster blood. What was he waiting for?

Well, there were two main issues with this.

The first was that the ingredients for the barrier breaking pill didn’t grow on just any tree. It took Dyon decades to find all the pieces he needed, and even then, it was only because of the golden flame mystical world’s existence that he was finally able to complete it.

As things stood now, Dyon only had enough material to concoct 12 batches of barrier breaking pills, which thanks to the Battle Cauldron, would total 120 pills in all. One of which had already been used by his mother in law.

The second issue was that simply taking the barrier breaking pill tempered into fate breaking pill didn’t guarantee success.

One had to remember that the kitsune were already supreme grade beasts, despite their being in decline. On top of this, Kawa was both a faith seed wielder and a nine tailed kitsune. She was already a small distance, relatively speaking, in comparison to the lofty celestial fox.

However, comparing the rodents within the Belmont Catacombs to the celestial hamsters was like comparing shit to gold. The gap between a common grade beast and a supreme grade one was simply unimaginable.

The mere concept of breaking a barrier accepts the premise that a barrier must be broken. This barrier would logically be stronger the more heaven defying a change you want to undergo. If Dyon fed a barrier breaking pill baptized in celestial hamster blood to a mere common grade rodent, not only would he waste the pill, the beast would die as well.

This said… Dyon had a cheat. A beautiful treasure that fell from the Immortal Plane: The Demon Sage Tower!

While the first floor allowed one to allow weapons to swallow each other to raise their grades, the second floor allowed beasts to raise their grade by fusing with blood!

The heaven defying act of this floor was that it didn’t require blood essence to work, normal blood would work just fine. However, should you go a step further and utilize blood essence… let alone supreme grade blood essence… The results could be imagined!

This was what Dyon had been doing. For almost 100 years, every day, he would send a batch of the rodents to the second floor. He would then provide them with a quarter of a drop of celestial hamster blood and allow them to incubate.

Over this time, many of the rodents died. Although Dyon tried to treat them as humanely as possible, there was only so much he could do. He treated them well while they weren’t in incubation, feeding them foods they could never dream of, but he could only imagine the amount of pain they endured on the second floor. Still, Dyon couldn’t allow a frail heart to act as a roadblock to him.

However, it had paid off. Of the original several hundred thousand, only just above 6000 remained. 5000 of them had progressed to the Earth Grade, while the remaining 1000 had entered the Heaven Grade. In fact, there were about 50 poised to break that final wall and transcend.

Once they became transcendent grade beasts, Dyon would finally be confident enough to feed them the Fate Breaking Pill. If he succeeded, the war drums would finally begin to beat. His first true campaign would begin.
